Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
  • Pinch of salt

For the Frosting

  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Coffee extract
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt butter and combine sugars: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Then, stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  6. Prepare the frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, coffee extract, and heavy cream. Whisk until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or powdered sugar if necessary.
  7. Frost the brownies: Evenly spread the coffee frosting over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve for a delicious coffee-chocolate treat.

Notes

  • Optional: Sprinkle with crushed nuts such as walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and coffee extract for the best flavor.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
